Theme Essential Question: How do the nature of expressions and the number system portray mathematics as a science of structure?
Essential Questions: How do you geometrically apply and algebraically evaluate square roots and cube roots?
Standards
8.EE.2. Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x2 = p and x3 = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that √2 is irrational.
Objectives
The student will evaluate expressions and solve equations of perfect squares and cube roots.
The student will apply the concepts of square and cube roots to real world word problems.
Reflections and/or Comments from your PCSSD 8th Grade Curriculum Team We have introduced five of the eight Mathematical Practices. During this lesson on square roots and cube roots, they will have an impact on the lessons. In order to influence your students, we recommend that you spend some time reviewing the practices and reflecting on your approach to implement the practices: Mathematical Practice #2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively Mathematical Practice #3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others Mathematical Practice #6 Attend to precision Mathematical Practice #7 Look for and make use of structure Mathematical Practice #8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning Note: The team anticipates this unit should only take a few days. You will need additional time to complete lesson 2-3 with the Problem Solving Connections and test prep for Unit 1 in the OnCore workbook (pages 27 – 32).
Background Information Recommended: For a quick overview of the standard(s) to be addressed in this lesson, see Arizona’s Content Standards Reference Materials. **http://www.azed.gov/wp-content/uploads/PDF/MathGr8.pdf** (Taken from Ohio Dept of Education Mathematics Model Curriculum 6-28-2011 ) Provide practical opportunities for students to flexibly move between forms of squared and cubed numbers. For example, If 32 = 9 then Ö9 = 3. This flexibility should be experienced symbolically and verbally.
How would you define a perfect square and cube root?
How do you evaluate equations of the form x2 = p and x3 = p, where p is a positive rational number.
How would you use perfect square and cube roots?
Observable Student Behaviors
Students understand the geometric and algebraic representation of square and cube roots.
Students can perform operations with square and cube roots.
Mathematical Practices 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
